Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea ‘Miss Cherry’ – Lingonberry

This Sweden native is a highly popular plant, much loved for the masses of bright red berries it produces from Summer all the way through Winter. A low, creeping, evergreen shrub it has a maximum height of just 0.1-0.5 metres but ultimate spread of 1-1.5 metres, making it the perfect shrub for ground cover or planting at the edge of a mixed border. Beautiful pink flowers emerge between May and June with the characteristic red berries produced from late July into Winter.
 
Often compared in taste to Cranberries, the Lingonberry has traditionally been used in sauces and preserves, especially jam. Plant in a sheltered area in full sun or partial shade. Similarly, to Cranberries and Blueberries, Lingonberries must be grown in acidic soil which is preferably moist but well-drained. 
 
Supplied in approx. 2 litre containers.
